WYCOMBE Wanderers will welcome back first-choice goalkeeper Matt Ingram for tomorrow’s home clash against York City.

Ingram, 21, saw a run of 111 consecutive games between the Chairboys’ sticks end when he suffered a knee injury during the final game of the regular season last term against Northampton.

Agonisingly, that meant he was sidelined for the Buckinghamshire outfit’s subsequent play-off ties against Plymouth and the Wembley defeat against Southend in the final.

Alex Lynch, who had spent the campaign on loan at Southern League strugglers Burnham, deputised in Ingram’s absence despite 46-year-old goalkeeper coach Barry Richardson having served as understudy to Ingram during the season.

Wycombe’s first two pre-season outings also saw Lynch, 20, don the gloves but Ingram, who made last season’s Sky Bet League Two team of the year, returned during the final two fixtures and will start against the Minstermen.

With Ingram back in, Wycombe are likely to include seven members of the team that played at the national stadium – the others being Marcus Bean, Aaron Pierre, Paul Hayes, Sam Wood, Matt Bloomfield and Joe Jacobson.

Influential on-loan Brentford trio – defenders Alfie Mawson and Nico Yennaris and midfielder Sam Saunders – have all moved on since that game which saw Southend grab a 120th-minute, extra-time equaliser and then gain promotion on penalties.

Centre-back Mawson was named third in the League Two Player of the Year contest and has since signed for Barnsley and his place in the team will be taken by Anthony Stewart, who has been re-signed by Gareth Ainsworth after a season with Crewe.

Fellow summer signings Garry Thompson and Michael Harriman, who have been recruited respectively from Notts County permanently and QPR on loan, are also set to make the first XI, whilst another fresh face – ex-Plymouth winger Jason Banton – is expected to feature from the bench.

Wycombe emerged from a low-key pre season, during which all their fixtures were played on the road, with no injuries.

A 2-1 defeat against French third-tier team US Avranches was followed by a 1-1 draw against Aldershot prior to back-to-back 3-1 triumphs over Basingstoke and Wealdstone.

Wycombe (probable): Ingram, Jacobson, Stewart, Pierre, Jombati, Wood, Bloomfield, Bean, Harriman, Hayes, Thompson.
